"Okay, nice and funky. Hey guys, I'm here with Gabrielle and I'm going to share with you how to make your kids haircut a happy one. Remember, kids are fussy, and they're not used to strangers, especially strangers with scissors. So lets figure out a way how to make their haircut a happy one, and make your life a little bit easier. First of all make them comfortable, give them a magazine. Let them see that they're in a place of happiness, that they're in a place where people care about what they feel. Also, something you can do, give them a cookie, give them a treat, make them feel comfortable. Again, these are things we have to do to allow them to warm up to getting a haircut. Don't pull those scissors out right away, warm them up, give them a little massage, joke with them and laugh with them, and then they'll get comfortable with you. Once you start the hair cut, you'll find they're really not afraid of you, that they were just nervous. And moms, make sure you stay close to your child, always stay in eyesight. They feel comfortable when they know someone is around that they love. Again, make your child's haircut a happy one. Make them feel comfortable, give them a magazine, or a cookie, and stay by their side. My name is Sylvia, I'm your beauty expert. And this is how you can make your haircut for your child a happy one."
